Feds approve SRS plutonium pit production project
The NNSA cleared a major plutonium pit production program at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility is expected to cost 6.9 to 11.1 billion dollars and likely operate between 2032 and 2035, with baselines to be refined in fiscal year 2024. The plan aims to sustain a mandated pit output by 2030, though critics question the high price and delayed schedule.
